Bbc 6 Music Bowie Day Now On... Happy Birthday Marc

It's happening now...

A final reminder on this one. We posted details of the BBC 6 Music Bowie Day last week. (07.03.2004 NEWS: BBC 6 MUSIC BOWIE DAY DETAILS) Well, if you're tuned in, you will know the buzz has already started with Bowie trailers and Kevin Greening announcing the commencement of Tin Machine Day! Of course, he was joking, but anybody who plays Soon by My Bloody Valentine at five past eight in the morning and then The Cocteau Twins' Pearly Dew Drops Drops a couple of records later can say whatever they want as far as I'm concerned.

As I said in my earlier piece, the day starts proper with Liz Kershaw at 11:00 (UK time), who now has interviews with Tony Visconti and Mick Rock and you all know about the treats that birthday boy Marc 'mama's boy' Riley has in store from aforementioned news piece.

Television and Radio listings bible The Radio Times here in the UK has the event as pick of the week... and rightly so. I'm off to get my train in attempt to get to Manchester in time for my own contribution. Wish me luck kidz.
